Sam is suggesting what I was going to do, but this idea might not be
intuitive. So let me make it clearer (and these tricks are more general
in application than just gnucash)
YOU (and not how a name is normally spelled) are the master.
Just because all of these funds are "500" doesn't mean
I'll add that the workflow for Find Account is:
1. CTRL/CMD-I, which brings up the Find Account dialog
2. start typing your search text, in this case "500" (without the
quotes) and hit ENTER to search
3. the result is a list of matching accounts. Use the up/down arrow keys
to highlight the
Numbering is likely the way to go for the closest workflow to what you
are using now, but there is also a 'Find Account' feature that might
work for you as well. However, it will take more keystrokes.
Regards,
Adrien

I've never numbered my accounts. This seems like a useful workaround

I have a pretty large number of accounts, and there is name
duplication. For example, I might have a S 500 index fund in my
brokerage account and another one in a traditional IRA and maybe yet

Accounts tab and type <500>. That
